The Smart Structures and Products Laboratory is a newly established laboratory aiming to support teaching and research in the areas of smart structures and products. In recent years, the strong demand for high performance structures has driven a new development of smart structures and products. The goal of smart structure technology is to reproduce biological functions in load bearing structural systems by using smart materials such as piezoelectric materials, magnetostrictive materials, shape memory alloys and fibre optic sensors. Major facilities in this laboratory are MTS (Tytron) machine for low forces and small components testing, HP Precision Reflectometer and Micron-optics FBG Interrogation System for optical fibre sensor measurements, High-voltage Piezoceramic Amplifiers, PVDF Conditioning System. Current projects engaged are smart composites with shape memory alloys, piezoelectrics and fibre-optic sensors, strain monitoring techniques for large structures, design and development of smart toys and home appliances with smart materials, smart structures comprising integrated sensors and actuators for noise and vibration suppression, design of new sensors and actuators and damage detection system with embedded smart elements.
